HIV and AIDS

National surveys collected over 20 years in 35 African countries provides strong evidence that men who pay for sex should be classified as an ‘at-risk’ population for HIV.

People with HIV living in the 12 states that have not adopted the Medicaid expansion face limited access to health coverage. In 2018, across sampled states, 20% of people with HIV living in non-expansion states were uninsured compared to 6% in expansion states, and those in expansion states were more likely to have Medicaid coverage (46% v 30%).

This guidance document was designed to assist a variety of harm reduction programs — ranging from small-scale grassroots organizations to larger harm reduction programs — with navigating the funding landscape and fulfilling the requirements laid out in grant proposals and their application process.

This resource provides sample materials, considerations, and resources to assist health departments with developing and implementing a table-top activity in their respective communities.

The 90–90–90 targets were missed, but not by much. At the end of 2020, 84% of people living with HIV knew their HIV status, 87% of people living with HIV who knew their HIV status were accessing antiretroviral therapy, and 90% of people on treatment were virally suppressed.

To commemorate the 33rd World AIDS Day, on December 1, 2021, Treatment Action Group in collaboration with the HIV Vaccine Trials Network, Southern AIDS Coalition, and Black AIDS Institute held this webinar to reflect on the past and celebrate the many successes and innovations in biomedical research that help to shape the prevention landscape for community members, people living with HIV, advocates, and researchers.

On Thursday, December 9, HIV.gov hosted “The Updated National HIV/AIDS Strategy: What’s New and What’s Next? A Webinar on How to Use the Strategy ”, led by Harold Phillips, Director, The White House Office of National AIDS Policy (ONAP). Topics included how the Strategy can be used in communities, as well as how community-based organizations and federal officials plan to use the Strategy within their own communities and departments.

This National HIV/AIDS Strategy (the Strategy), the nation’s third national HIV strategy, updates the HIV National Strategic Plan (2021). The Strategy sets forth bold targets for ending the HIV epidemic in the United States by 2030, including a 75% reduction in new HIV infections by 2025 and a 90% reduction by 2030

Unequal, unprepared, under threat: why bold action against inequalities is needed to end AIDS, stop COVID-19 and prepare for future pandemics. Arabic.
